BULLION BENTON SENATOR
FROM THE NEW WEST THOM
AS HART BENTON (1782-1858) the
author William N. Chambers has
created the illuminating portrait
not only of a great American but
of a great age in American poli
tics. This is only one among the
new books at your Post Special
Services Libraries which have to
do with the American scene.
A fascinating and thoroughly
entertaining chapter is added
to our Literary history in THE
RAVEN AND THE WHALE
BY Perry Miller a book con
cerning the era of Poe and
Melville. It is the story of the
wildly stormy literary climate
of New York and the social
and political climate as well
in the 184©'s and 50's when
Melville was publishing his
books. This was a period of
open war.
CENTURIES OF SANTA FE by
Paul Horgan is the living history
of a unique city as recreated by
one of America's most interesting
historians and most distinguished
novelists. It is the chronicle of
three stirring centuries of social
change from the days when Santa
Fe was Spain's northernmost capi
tal in the world to the present.
WHAT A YEAR! by Joe A. Mor
ris tells the colorful story of 1929
one of the truly pivotal years in
American history. Celebrated for
the boom and* crash it was also
a great year in science sports
entertainment politics crime
and general nonsense. Every page
of this wonderful book is alive with
stories well told and vivid human
beings sometimes fantastic some
times hilarious sometimes sad. To
quote the well known author Jim
Bishop "This book is as mad as
the Charleston as nostalgic as
scented lace and as warm as a
flask on the hip."
Who is the organization man?
According to William H. Whyte in
his recent book THE ORGANIZA
TION MAN he is the middle-
class American who has left home
spiritually as -well as physically
to take the vows of organization
life. The author believes that the
organization man is at the center
of a deep conflict in American
values. He makes an analysis of
what is wrong with our society
as seen through the life of the
organization man and then "makes

THE ARMORED SENTINEL FORT HOOD TEXAS
Pippin IV was a quiet poised
self-assured little Frenchman who
didn't feel it was an affectation to
learn another language. His slender
but steady income from the pro
ducts of the grape enabled him to
pursue the one interest in his life
the study of the heavens. His ab
so on in a a
strange shower of meteors was
abruptly halted one morning when
a delegation of diplomats inform
ed him that as he was the only
living descendant of Charlemagne
it was his duty to become King of
France and save the country from
itself. Pippin's daughter Clotilde
overjoyed at becoming a princess
took off on her motor scooter to
turn on the fountains at Versailles.
And so begins a satirical expose
of modern French politics. Pippin
IV so numbered because the third
Pippin had died in 768 A. D. was
forcibly moved to that cold dust-
box Versailles where a company
of guards caused him to miss an
eclipse of the moon. His new sub
jects wanted him to be a second
Sun King so the Folies Bergere
held a contest to chose the King's
Mistress with entries from all
over the world.
Pippin a subscriber to "Down
beat" was not interested in ancient
traditions and wanted to be modern
in every way fearing that to make
mistakes of the past would lead to
identical situations of failure for
the future. But he was over-ruled.
After determining that the Ameri
can State Department would still
render the same financial aid as
in the past the French moved
rapidly ahead with their plan of
restoring Versailles as the fashion
able glittering capital of the world.
The nylon industry put on extra
shifts of laborers to fill the de
mands for artificial mothproof er
mine.
Countiers were swamped with
demands for original velvets and
laces. Over two hundred "aristo
crats" moved into Versailles as in
the days of the Sun King. Madame
Pippin now Queen Pippin was out

ly run household and resorted to

unusual undiplomatic means to
solve her difficulties.
Tourists flooded in money was
everywhere and prosperity was
such that "The Platinum Age" be
gan in France. But with this influx
of prosperity came doubt and dis
trust. What would France do with
all this money? Scepticism and
greed took place of fellowship.
Fear followed to the extent that a
troop of Boy Scouts drilling with
quarter-staffs was photographed
by the secret services of four na
tions and the pictures sent home
for evaluation The Army of Lux-
bourg added one more soldier to
its unit.
What the people had forgotten
was the Pippin was French and
therefore incorrigibly independent.
His decisive action to "right"
France had such catalysmic re
sults that the title of the book THE
SHORT REIGN OF PIPPIN IV
couldn't have been anything else.
Steinbeck has written a wonderful
story. Witty intelligent and de
lightfully insouciant this small
book will be thoroughly enjoyed by
all those who have ever lived in
France. To those who haven't the
innocently pointed but deadly re
marks will not be understood.
Highly recommended.
